PHUKET: The Chief of the Marine Endangered Species Unit at the Phuket Marine Biological Centre (PMBC) has provided a telephone number to be used when a distressed sea turtle is found.

 

Dr Kongkiet Kittiwattanawong told The Phuket News yesterday (June 28), “If anyone finds a turtle stuck in a fishing net or injured, please call 076 391128 and we will come out to help. English speakers are welcome to call the number, we can communicate with them."

 

Dr Kongkiet’s appeal follows the discovery of two sea turtles stuck in fishing nets this week, one on Racha Yai island and the other in Phang Nga.

In my view one of the few things that Thailand excels at is the support and care that they give to turtles all around the Thai coastline.  They deserve much more media attention outside of Thailand for the dedication shown by their support staff which would hopefully bring in a much higher level of outside financial donations that would allow them to contribute to this worthy cause even better.
